+When used as an adjective in conjunction with a noun it refers to anything created, managed and belonging to the [[Afrikaans]] speaking segment of the society.  (In this case the adjective used would be "[[Afrikaans]]" when speaking or writing English, but "[[Afrikaanse]]" when doing so in the [[Afrikaans]] language itself.)
 More specifically with reference to arts and culture,  it normally refers to any creative output using Afrikaans as medium or of importance to the Afrikaans-speaking community. Thus '''[[Afrikaans Theatre]]''' ([[Afrikaanse Teater]] or [[Afrikaanse Toneel]] in Afrikaans), '''[[Afrikaans Film]]''' ([[Afrikaanse Rolprent]], [[Afrikaanse Film]]), '''[[Afrikaans Literature]]''' ([[Afrikaanse Letterkunde]]), '''[[Afrikaans Music]]''', and so on,  could refer to two things:
